Right? I was so sure that what we were going to see today was a bunch of posts like "Okay, progressives, you've been granted a stay - now get out there, make sure Hillary knows she's got the White House on sufferance, work your asses off to GOTV in 2018, and don't take any of it for granted."

I can't imagine wanting to look at him even for the pleasure of punching his face repeatedly, but whatever works. Your post is a good reminder to go swimming tonight, in an actual pool as opposed to a vat of red wine.

Shit. Wishing you the best of luck, for real.

Most of them wouldn't self-identify as straight, white, and Christian?

I despaired after that one. I'm fucking pissed about this one. It may not be healthier but it feels as though it is (for now).

Speaking of the media, one of the things I'm going to do is see what newspapers I can afford to subscribe to.

Has an AVC staff member always gotten the by-line on the Dan Savage column, or is that just one of the weird new things that's happening today?

Don't allow folks to fall into despair. Get angry, get organized, and be willing to put the work in.

Yeah, the exchange rate had been keeping me away, but I was hoping to get to New York some time next year. Not happening now.

I mean, she got slammed the last time she did it. Another example of how she does a thing, she gets blamed for the thing, her armor goes up, and she comes off as cold and calculating. But even if she had to wait until she was under control, she should have given the speech last night. It's the done thing. And her…

Maybe as a proportion of income? In absolute terms it's not pricier than New York, for example.

The exchange rate will make the prices less onerous for an American coming up here, but yeah. Most expensive city in the country to buy a home in.

Oh good, I needed some shame to go with my rage this morning.

I have to assume that's why she didn't speak - she didn't want to cry on camera. But I agree with you that she should have done it anyway.

You, by the way, have been an exceptionally gracious conservative voice here. You've mentioned feeling outnumbered but I don't remember it ever resulting in you being really angry or rude to anyone. I don't share your political views at all, but applaud the way you've presented yourself (and that's sincere, I hope it…

And because they're white, their desperation and anger has to matter more than that of the people who've been feeling it all along.

Good luck to you as well. I too am not American - but I do have to live next door to them. We breathe the same air, share bodies of water, trade $1 billion+ daily. I have no faith that our PM, nice guy though he may be, is equipped to deal with Trump as leader. Hillary would have been bad enough - despite the fact…

I'm not writing them off at all. They very clearly made their voices heard and everyone now has to live with it. I'm just saying voting for Trump is a stupid decision. It is extremely unlikely that he is going to make any of his supporters' lives better - the people without jobs are not suddenly going to get jobs, and…

I don't care that you don't care. You said you doubted he had a job, I'm telling you he talks about it with relative frequency, which you'd know if you'd been here a while, is all.

I think it's absolutely the right axis. Anyone who voted for him made a stupid decision, however smart they may be day-to-day.
